Earns 1.0 CEU / 10 PDH
Price:
$485.00
AEE offers self-paced seminars to provide students the opportunity to participate in continuing education courses, earn CEUs and receive a certificate of completion without traveling or following a course class meeting schedule.
These self-paced home-study courses can be taken any time during the designated term period. Here's how the program works:
Each registered student receives a printed book containing all the course material along with the e-mail address of the instructor so that questions can be asked at any time during the term. (Students outside the US are charged an additional shipping fee which is calculated and approved by the student before the registration is processed.) Each student who completes the course questions found in the printed book, returns them for scoring, and makes at least 70 will receive a certificate of completion and 1 CEU. The CEU credit can be used toward recertification. COGENERATION AND ITS USES
This course focuses on how to evaluate and implement cogeneration projects. The benefits of cogeneration – the combining of heat production with electrical production, i.e., combined heat and power – will be explained in detail. Sections include the determination of the economics resulting in the analysis prior to implementation, the available technologies that can be utilized, the permitting and installation of the proper technology, and the operation and maintenance of the finished product.
Since cogeneration necessitates doing something with the waste heat of the prime mover, alternate technologies in that field will be discussed. Finally, with the advent of such new terms as “distributed generation” and “distributed resources,” the course includes a discussion of how cogeneration fits into those arenas.
Course Sections Section 1, What is Cogeneration and Where Can It Be Applied Section II, Benefits of Cogeneration Section III, Determining the Economics off Cogeneration Section IV, Available Technologies Section V, Permitting, Installing, Operating, & Maintaining A Cogeneration System Section VI, Ancillary Equipment Section VII, Cogeneration as Applied to Distributed Generation & Distributed Resources
Bernard F. Kolanowski, Instructor Bernard F. Kolanowski, graduate Mechanical Engineer from the Pennsylvania State University, has spent most of his working career in the field of application engineering of capital products. Starting in the early 1970s, he became heavily involved in cogeneration applications while with Ingersol-Rand Company.
From there, Mr. Kolanowski moved into the waste to energy field, another form of cogeneration, when the oil crisis had come and its presence was being heavily felt in rising gasoline and electrical prices. Burning industrial, municipal, pathological and hazardous waste in two-stage, clean burning incinerators at over 2000 degrees F. created significant hot stock gases that could be effectively used in waste heat boilers to generate steam or hot water for in-plant processes. Representing various manufacturers in 10 to 250 kilowatt cogeneration systems, Mr. Kolanowski applied new technologies in various commercial and industrial application from the typical coin operated laundry to the nursing home, hospital and hotel arenas. He joined Capstone Turbine Corp. in September, 1999 to help exploit the newest technology in on-site electrical generation and resultant cogeneration. Recently, he authored Small Scale Cogeneration Handbook, and continues as a consultant and manufacturer’s representative for a number of cogeneration technologies in the gas turbine and reciprocating engine fields.
